The Reflex kite from Revolution is still being developed & there are probably newer versions/sizes on the horizon. The kite I received from Riffclown a few weeks ago was from the second run of the new kite produced I believe last Spring. The first run had just the metal spring & the normal carbon tube. The concern of the springs rubbing & wearing the vertical tubes became an issue. In the second batch it had been addressed by a sleeve or coating being applied to the springs thems
